slapshot said:I guess I spoke too soon about Marincin playing better after injury. He had a couple of decent games, but quickly went down hill, especially last night. It seems consistency is what has plagued his career so far.

dekedastardly said:So when do we think Marchenko might get a chance? With as porous as the defense is, does the slow footed Polak get a turn to sit a couple out?
disco said:How to fix the Leafs defence IMHO:
1) Keep drafting defensemen.
2)Trade forwards for defensemenDraft McDavid (see Edmonton).
Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate said:Interesting article. The takeaways are (1) that Rielly is an enigma and, perhaps, a disappointment, except that (2) he could still blossom with the right partner.

I've mentioned in the past few GDT's that the Rielly-Zaitsev pairing was basically on the ice in all the goals against in those games. They've been on the ice for all 8 non-empty net goals in the past 3 games. That includes two powerplay goals against. In the 11 games since Rielly returned from his injury the Rielly-Zaitsev pairing has been on the ice for 16 of the 24 5-on-5 goals the team has given up.
Figured I'd see what the other defencemen looked like during this time, and was obviously pretty surprised to see Hunlack's numbers. I knew that their goals against were low, but didn't expect their CF% to be roughly the same as everyone elses. Is Hunlack actually good?
